Cheerful Celebration (List)

Here’s the ever-growing list I pull from when I need to celebrate…Thanks to Joanne Hunold for her contributions!

…..the little things:

  • buy some stargazer lilies & keep them near my door
  • soak in a bubble bath with a cold glass of wine and a good book
  • savor a piece of dark chocolate
  • turn off the phone and watch a DVD, or make a marathon of my favorite guilty pleasure shows from my DVR (Bridezillas, What Not to Wear, Made, House Hunters) with a fresh bowl of popcorn (add some garlic salt – just trust me) and a glass of wine
  • sit in the park with the Sunday Times, an iced coffee, and the man I love while enjoying the weather and the multitudes of people walking by
  • if it’s warm, throw on a bikini top, grab a chaise lounge on my roof deck and read or write
  • if it’s cold, bundle up and go to the roof deck to stargaze until I can’t feel my fingers
  • spend the entire day in my pjs
  • take a power nap
  • don’t set the alarm and sleep the morning/early afternoon away
  • treat myself to a mani/pedi at a spa
  • indulge in a glazed donut (usually off-limits for me) without a smidge of guilt (but stop at just one donut)
  • shop for a new outfit from a store that is not a “discount” one (Marshalls, Ross, etc)
  • brew a cup of fancy loose tea, wrap up in a comforter, and watch a DVD, or Tivo-ed movie without multi-tasking (no folding laundry, etc)
  • just read a book!!! (again no feeling guilty or calling myself lazy allowed)
  • relax in my backyard
  • buy a new album I’ve been wanting
  • take a walk on the beach around sunset
  • have a beach day
  • see a movie I’ve been wanting to see
  • make a coffee/drink/dinner/brunch date with a friend
  • go on a date with Luke
  • buy a book that’s in my bookstore that I haven’t read yet
  • buy something from my wishlist on MyRegistry.com
  • listen to my Positivity Playlist!
  • take a yoga class / do my yoga DVD
  • take a dance class
  • go dancing with my girlfriends!
  • sing
  • write in my journal
  • read a trashy magazine
  • allow myself some guilt-free blog-reading time. aaahhhh….

…..the big things:
